Interesting. I would have thought that cinematic movement requires 6".
My own exercises show that against an opponent who does random
manoeuvres at SML time, it's very difficult to hit a compact formation
with more than 30-40% of your SMLs.

By Random, I mean what I do: Roll 1 D6 White 1-2 Left, 3-4 Straight 5-6
Right. With speed of 12+.

Thanks for the correction!
